In the modern space race, every mission is a dance with the unknown, and the dance partner is usually as volatile as the fuel that powers the rockets. Today, this dance has taken an unexpected turn for Boeing, the company that was once considered a primary contender in the race to make space travel more commercial. Boeing announced on Thursday, alongside NASA, that it would further delay the inaugural crewed launch of its Starliner spacecraft, an unfortunate setback occasioned by the discovery of fresh issues with the spacecraft's systems. In an industry where the tiniest oversight could result in catastrophic failures, the delay might be a disappointing development, but it is also a necessary one.

In the fast-paced world of social media, where every tweet is scrutinized and every word weighed, a new controversy has emerged involving two high-profile figures: Elon Musk, tech billionaire and owner of Twitter, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known for her political acuity and prolific social media use. The bone of contention? A growing concern over disinformation and its potential influence on the upcoming 2024 US Presidential election. This story, which Ocasio-Cortez broke on Tuesday via an unambiguous post on BlueSky, marks yet another chapter in the ongoing debate about the power of social media giants, the manipulation of online narratives, and the potential harm of unchecked disinformation. "I am concerned about next year's election given Musk putting his finger on the scale in Turkey, etc. There is a line where the harm of unchecked disinfo exceeds the benefits of direct, authentic communication," Ocasio-Cortez wrote, expressing a sentiment that echoes wider concerns about the integrity of democratic processes in the digital age. The source of her ire? Musk's recent decision to comply with a request by Turkey's right-wing autocratic leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to censor dissident voices on the Twitter platform. Musk, known for his libertarian stance on free speech, justified this decision by suggesting that it was the lesser of two evils, considering Erdogan's threat to completely shut down Twitter access in Turkey. This approach, according to Musk, was intended to preserve at least some level of access to the platform for the Turkish people.
